So too will be the journey of Palantir AIP. The software, nor the hardware, will be the bottleneck. The advancement will be halted (not just slowed) by people. Palantir AIP, properly implemented, will quickly eliminate 90% of the non-value added bureaucratic functions of any organization. In a storybook way, the implementation of AIP is the tale of "Atlas Shrugged" told in reverse. It is the unwinding of bureaucracy. Most middle managers spend all day preparing for, going to, attending, and then reacting to meetings. And then it is Tuesday. The classic consulting tricks will not work in this new frontier. A PROCESS for the RIF (reduction in force) will have to be INVENTED by the users and implementors of AIP. Returning to a value added position at 25% of the salary is a pill too large to swallow for most. This RIF will occur nation, and then world-wide. The Fortune 500 will not be hiring middle managers for a good while. This will be painful. This is necessary. The good news is that from the ashes, the strongest and most fruitful companies of all time will thrive. The new dawn that awaited the pioneers of old lies before us. Wagons, Ho!
